Ode To Mr. Zimmerman

Carrying a note wasn’t his bag When he sang his voice would sort of drag For his America he waved a flag Robert Zimmerman was his name Poetic ballads were his burning flame Where others said can’t, he said can He called us friend And spoke of the wind I think him a giant he’s only a man Reading his words makes me want more to analize his analogies can be a chore Paints pictures in my head when your driven in your car Paints lyrics of big brass beds He’s truly a star How to follow I don’t know his concert ended in an encore My appreciation of Bob Dylan I doubt I could show

oh, this must be Dylan's real name then? Yes, he was quite the folk lore poet. He really loved Woodie Guthrie, a songwriter of the people! Congrats on your HM for this fine topic. LUv, Andrea
